Program Requirements
Cybersecurity majors are expected to demonstrate a serious attitude toward the College's liberal arts Core Requirements and to select their elective courses with care, since not all cybersecurity major courses are considered liberal arts. This may mean that majors could need additional credits in liberal arts beyond what is taken for the College core, the major, and the chosen minor if applicable.
Students contemplating a major in cybersecurity should take MATH 150C in the first year.
B.S. in Cybersecurity
For students majoring in cybersecurity, courses from all required disciplines that may be applied to the major are included in the determination of the grade point average in the major.
